Concentrated Growth Factors and Bone Grafting in Maxillary Sinus Lift: A Systematic Review.
Review in International journal of dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aim: This review evaluates the latest studies on the effectiveness of growth factor concentrates and bone grafts (BGs) in maxillary sinus lift (MSL) procedures, emphasizing their role in bone regeneration and healing. The aim is to determine their impact on enhancing clinical outcomes by improving bone quality and accelerating the healing process. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed databases. The following keywords were employed: "PRP," "L-PRF," "CGF," "oral surgery," and "sinus lift," combined with the Boolean operators "AND" and "OR." A total of 727 studies were initially identified, of which 18 met the inclusion criteria for this review. Results: The included studies demonstrate that the use of growth factors in conjunction with alloplastic and xenogeneic BGs significantly promotes early vascularization and has potent proangiogenic effects in vivo. Furthermore, these combinations reduce postoperative inflammation and discomfort, accelerating the healing process and enhancing tissue regeneration. Conclusions: Although further research is necessary, current evidence suggests that autologous platelet concentrates hold promise for improving clinical outcomes in MSL procedures. They may enhance bone height and thickness, improve vascularization, and expedite postoperative healing, offering a valuable adjunct to traditional bone grafting techniques in oral surgery.
